But that would simply result in Most Americans don't want AI Data Centers , which isn't the same as NYMBYism. I think many Americans see the benefits of having access to unicorn fa…

The ambiguity of the word "Open" has a long history. Going back to at least late 1980s, when X Window "skin" OPEN LOOK (by AT&T - Sun consortium) had license issues and Open Source…

That would be truly ironic: companies get big harvesting any data with questionable copyright implications, then hide behind DMCA if access to the harvest is used "inappropriately"…

> [...] would be protected from the market. One might step back and ask: why would a well funded company with free mining access to all the information in the world need to be prot…

Sample accurate editing is with AAC is a pain though. Especially if you also have video, because frame rates are usually incompatible. If you want flexibility without fully transco…

Why not use a lossless codec if you care about quality? Or use Opus, descent for specht and works pretty much anywhere these days.

The correlation between job cuts and ai growth is real. But it's related more to ai cost than ai performance. Especially in Oracle's highly leveraged case.

Etymologically you're correct that semites refers to [all] people from middle east and horn of Africa. But the label is from the European perspective, where it was used to refer to…

> Sorry, but to me an LLM is nothing but a tool. It is not a replacement for my expertise and it is definitely not something to outsource my thinking to. Great on you, that's indee…

I agree that's fine in that at least it's doesn't cause unmaintainable garbage. And might even get you up to speed quicker that reading the docs old school. But the GP point, that …

You mean, use encryption (+base64 or something) as a "poor man's" string-escape? Interesting idea!

There will always be cases (like audio processing, car brakes, pace makers) where hard real-time constraints prohibit GC languages (as well as l1 cache, instruction reordering and …

Interesting. I'm know nothing about Apple, but maybe you can explain how idiomatic Swift handles Blobs and how that interfaces with C or C++ around void ptrs, std::spans etc.?

There is a difference between UB in C, and something being undefined in some version of Microsoft C on Windows. Many of C's UB is specifically, intentionally left undefined in the …

+1 And SAL annotations aren't even C++ proper.

I don't think the cloud (someone else's computer) is the best solution. The sanitation problem can be mitigated by compartimentization but the cloud aspect also adds brittleness an…

Would that mean the original owner gets it back? Would they have to pay property tax backlog retroactively? Might be huge ..

Hadn't thought of that and I think you're right. Having been exposed to Java But there are still many remnants (like null refs, despite Option ) that are easiest understood by trac…

Haven't yet used Zig in anger, but it looks more like a successor to C (with a bit of Go), whereas Rust is a successor to C++, first and foremost.

Distopian, what an insightful frame

There is more to math, than input (money) and output (power). Sure, there is some relation between applied sciences and how knowlegde can assist effecting world events. But for the…

That might change the odds, but unless you fork diligently (and monkeypatch each and every future vulnerability) you might ship a compromised fork forever.

That sounds terrible! Feels like your LLM agent probably has more control over your computer than you. Can't imagine being confined to a prison like that, but I suppose there are o…

Precisely. There is nothing preventing you from doing the same in Linux: rather than installing docker, install docker on a Linux VM (ie. using KVM). Conversely, docker containers …

> An economy that doesn’t need human labor is a political crisis of a kind democratic systems have never faced. This isn't entirely accurate. I can think of Norway as an example of…
